A person often meets his destiny, on the road he chose to avoid it. - Jean De La Fortin
Badlands is a 1973 American crime drama film written and directed by Terrence Malick, starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. Warren Oates and Ramon Bieri are also featured. Malick has a small speaking part although he does not receive an acting credit. The story, though fictional, is loosely based on the real-life murder spree of Charles Starkweather and his girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, in 1958, though such a basis was not acknowledged when the film was released.
In 1993, five years after the United States National Film Registry was established, Badlands was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Badlands is narrated by Holly (Spacek), a teenage girl living in a dead-end South Dakota town. One day she meets Kit (Sheen), a rebellious young greaser who charms her and takes her as his accomplice on a cross-country killing spree. Holly's narration, describing her adventures with Kit with romantic clichés, is juxtaposed with the grim reality of Kit's sociopathic appetite for grisly violence. The two are eventually arrested; Kit is executed for his crimes, while Holly receives probation.
Light's out tonight
Trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
Smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a crossfire
I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
Talk about a dream, try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
You spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' till it's understood
These Badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the field
Till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheels
Till you get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts
Learned real good right now
Get it straight
Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
Till he rules everything
Wanna go out tonight
Wanna find out what I got
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
And I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
Badlands, gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' till it's understood
These Badlands start treating us good
Whoa, whoa
For the ones who had a notion
A notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
To be glad you're alive
Wanna find one face
That ain't looking through me
Wanna find one place
I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' till it's understood
These Badlands start treating us good
Whoa, whoa, Badlands
Whoa, whoa, Badlands
Whoa, whoa, Badlands
Whoa, whoa, Badlands

Fresh scrubbed baby, Momma's kiss on his cheek
Steps off the greyhound with money for a week.
A wild eyed innoncent, he knows no fear
It takes more than heroes to survive down there.
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Well if you've got the bullets...
They'll remember your name down there.
Can't drink the water, can't breathe the air
They said it was exciting, never said it was fair
You're just another singer in a pilgrim's suit
Chased by the lines till you learn to shoot
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
If you've got those black diamonds
They'll remember your name down there.
Badlands, well there's always a faster hand in the west
Room around town for only the best
One false step and you'll be cut down
For some it's paradise, others it's hell.
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Yeah, if you've got the bullet
They'll remember your name down there.
They'll remember your name down there.
They'll remember your name down there.
You're gonna need some protection.
You had better make your connections.
I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross
Will take another life, we'll take another loss
I feel the dry wind, dust is in my eyes
The arctic cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies
God in heaven, my only friend
Will I live to see my journey's end?
As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself
Never again
A dusty godforsaken path
Endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands
Somehow I'll find my way
No more paradise, no more soothing rain
All the sacrifice, the pain is all the same
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
Will these lonely nights ever end?
Will I live to see my journey's end?
As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself
Never again
A dusty godforsaken path
Endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands
Somehow I'll find my way
The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky
Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die
Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun
Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won?
But still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself
Never again
A dusty godforsaken path
Endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands
They call this the badlands, baby
But it used to be bayou
The shore of an inland sea
And I can hear you coming
What foul beast stalks this way
The night is dim
But I catch the scent of your arrogance
As you rear your head
I can see your eyes gleaming
Catching light from the moon
Like a pair of knives to cut me down
Hole in the world
And the light is leaking out
Spilling like water
And I can hear you coming
What new devilry is this
I saw you rise and creep across the sky
And all night as I fled
You came behind
Eating all the stars dig to find
Why the life left rocks and stones
Skulls and bone, whispered stories
Tales of glory
And a tragic fall from grace
And a tragic fall from grace
And a tragic fall from grace
Still we?re still falling
Just like the dinosaurs
Love, love love love
Oh my sweet, young child
Livin' heartache alone
Pictures cry on the wall
Whispered sins, never `prise me to fall
Now you're twistin' it all
Wasted days are bringin' me down
Oh girl I'm losin' you
Shattered dreams
Spinnin' me `round
Oh girl, what can I do
The last time
I said I'm fallin' in love
Girl, it's the last time
I said I'm fallin' in love
No, no, no, yeah
I remember that night
And that very blind kiss
You knew I'd never love on a lie
But time after time
I'd be down on my knees
Beggin' like never before
Wasted days are bringin' me down
Oh girl, I'm losin' you
Shattered dreams
Spinnin' me `round
Oh girl, what can I do
The last time
I said I'm fallin' in love
Girl, it's the last time
I said I'm fallin' in love
No, no, no, yeah
(Solo)
Girl, it's the last time
I said I'm fallin' in love
Yes, it's the last time
I said I'm fallin' in love
You know, it's the last time
Baby, said I'm fallin' in love
The last time
I said I'm fallin in love
No, no, no
Girl, it's the last time, yeah
I said I'm falling for your love
Late one night through a purple sky
A vision touched my soul
Listening to the wind that night
My soul lost control
500 years of voices carry on the wind
Each dawn I watched a sunset melt through an ocean blue
Aaaww, through and ocean blue
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Yeah, yeah
Angels like red she'd me of my sins
And freedom's touched my wings
Through this hour in the thick and thin
I stand alone again
500 years of voices carry on the wind
Each dawn I watched the sunset melt through an ocean blue, oh
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Much too long child, yeah
Each dawn I watched a sunset melt through an ocean blue
500 years of voices carry on the wind
Aaaww, strong connection winds
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child
You've been bleeding child
Bleeding child
I know it's late, and the evenings gently giving ground
Shadows remain of the words that were never spoken
All the years that we once held in our hands
Just leave us to wonder
Still the winds are changing all the time
But I know it's too late
The seasons all gone by, oh, whoa
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Seasons can wait `till a thousand years have come and gone
Stories we wrote
All the days that were never counted
Time alone
All the dreams we thought would never die
But then there's tomorrow
For these dreams will save our lonely times
But I know it's too late
The seasons all gone by, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Hear the crashing sound as time slips away
Feel the thunder ride the road
Wearing this chain on my hands that I'm sure to bare
Oh, love rain on you forever more, oh
Oh, listen
I know it's late, and the evening's gently giving ground
Shadows remain of the words that were never spoken
Though I dream
Sometimes dreams are all I know
Leave us to wonder
Though the winds are changing all the time
But I know it's too late
The seasons all gone by, oh, whoa
But I know it's too late
The seasons all gone by, oh, oh, oh
But I know it's too late
The seasons all gone by
Oh, feels so good, oh
And you feel so good, oh, oh
And things must change
Oh, for the center is now, oh
You can feel a change
There's something in ya all
You just don't know
Listen
Oh, oh
But I know it's too late
Just a poor boy
Scratch my back on a razor's edge
This razor's edge I call my home
Keep my thoughts inside myself
Down where they're born and bled
I'll probably die by the fire I breathe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said
In my mind this crazy boy is a runaway train
No one's gonna steal my soul
I'll bite the bullet no more
In my heart this crazy boy is a rumblin' train
Look out babe `cause here I come
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rumblin' train, train
The devil's river's runnin' wild in my veins
It kills my mind but feeds my soul
Every night a dirty lady in a different bed
I keep on playin' those hard on games
But I got more in my head
In my mind this crazy boy is a runaway train
No one's gonna steal my soul
I'll bite the bullet no more
In my heart this crazy boy is a rumblin' train
Look out babe `cause here I come
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rumblin' train
Rumblin' bad boy, bad boy on down
Rumblin' train
Rumblin' train, train, train, train, train
Ma, ma, ma, ma, oh yeah
(Solo)
Look out
Duck
Rumblin' train, rumblin' bad boy, bad boy on the line
Rumblin' train, rumblin' bad boy, on the line, alright
Crazy boy is a rumblin' train
Crazy boy is a runaway train
Crazy boy's on a permanent ride tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah
Crazy boy is a rumblin' train
Crazy boy is a runaway train
Crazy boy's on a permanent ride tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just a young man in an old steel town
I'm getting older now, it's time to look around
My brother John loves his needle & spoon
A cigarette hangs from his lip
Everyone ‘round thinks he's so bad
He's really not that cool, no
And I know the reasons why
Deep inside he's not alive
He was born by a river
You know he'll die by the river now
‘Cause deep inside my river's run dry
So many times did mother swallow her pride
Just to keep my old man's dreams alive
And I know, and I know someday we're gonna move on outta here
She says "Jesus, Lord, don't give me no bad thoughts and bury me here."
And I know the reasons why, and I know the reasons why
She was born by a river
Her blood flows through the river now
And deep inside my river's run dry
She was born by a river
Her blood flows through the river now
‘Cause deep inside my river's run dry
Oh, take hold my hand and pray
Someday baby we're gonna find a way
Oh, oh
I know the reasons why
‘Cause deep inside she lost her life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She was born by a river
Her blood flows through the river now
Deep inside the river's run dry
She was born by a river
You know, we'll die by the river now
‘Cause deep inside my river's run dry
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh, yeah
We're born by the river now
You know, she'll die by the river now
Worries took control of me during this endless week
I tried to ban this inner struggle, which holds me from my sleep
didn’t succeed in climbing out the well I just fell in
Heading down to the local bar for a drink to beat the enemy within
Its like a vicious circle; another week its just the same
Obstacles cross my path; its driving me insane
Cant wait till Friday night, gonna hit the streets again
Better make it worthwhile now cos’ Monday’s round the bend
Rip it up till the morning light
All these worries out of sight
Nothing left to pay the rent
Live on a subway "Graffiti hall"
Said it one more time
Taking time to save my soul
Still alive, in a bar maid
Said it weren't my time
Paid my dues they say belong
Ahh, ahh, somthin's wrong with the picture now
Ahh, ahh, the words don't seem to fit
Ahh, ahh, somethin's wrong with the picture now
Blood will spill
Everybody round town
Ride the Jack
You ride the Jack
Said it weren't my time
Nothin' to do but lay low
I know, I know, I know
Said it weren't my time
Set my dues, its eerie (oh)
Ahh, ahh, somthin's wrong with the picture now
Ahh, ahh, the words don't seem to fit
Ahh, ahh, somethin's wrong with the picture now
Blood will spill
Everybody round town
Rides the Jack
You ride the Jack
Ahh, ahh, somthin's wrong with the picture now
Ahh, ahh, the words don't seem to fit
Ahh, ahh, somethin's wrong with the picture now
Blood will spill
Everybody round this town
Rides the Jack
You ride the Jack
You ride the Jack
Oh, fuck me
When evening calls
And the black night's down on me
You give your love
For which I take
Blinded by the time I know
This lonely old boy's spinnin' `round
Time don't wait for me no more
Love don't mean a thing without you girl, yeah
This love I know, yeah
She's tearin' me down inside
This babe I know, I know, I know
And don't make no mistake
Blinded by the time I know
This lonely old boy's spinnin' `round
Time don't wait for me no more
Love don't mean a thing without you girl, yeah
My touch is in your eyes
Your fire burns inside me
Your healing hands can turn me around
Gonna turn I know
(Solo)
My touch is in your eyes
Your fire burns inside me
Your healing hands can turn me around
Gonna turn I know
Love don't mean a thing without you girl
Love don't mean a thing without ya by my side
Love don't mean a thing without you girl, yeah
Love don't mean a thing without you, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh
See us gather round' the bar on friday and saturday night
Trendy clubs we all avoid, every weekend that same old sight
of us drinking our beers, talking about nothing all night long
And when it's closing time I realise there's something wrong
With me sitting here every weekend wasting precious money & time
And after I have finished some drinks I ain't feeling so fine
Because all my worries & frustrations are taking suddenly hold of me
And when I go to sleep that night a loser's life I clearly see
Chorus: I'm a loser at the bar
Drunken man philosophies are passing by all night
And I guess they're based on personal frustrations, and that ain't right
But it's human to act this way when you have a sorry life
Which is led by constant failure, sheer misery and strife
When I look back on the things I've said and done right in the past
I called everyone a fool while the only fool was me,
the curtain is falling now so fast
Is there a reason why
I hated everything & everyone, oh I ran So far away from reality
because I didn't want to be like them
But who's the fool right now
I've been waiting, for sun to shine
There's a shadow across my heart
Hard times and trouble, follow me wherever I go
As I look down my lonely road
One day in my life I realised
I was cursed and bound to pay the price
Trying to figure out the reason why
faith inside of me must slowly die
I took the lies, I took em' one by one
I payd the price, now the pain has just begun
Well I've been wrong, not unlike many others
Now I clearly face the fact we simply cannot trust each other
Lies, lies
I often questioned both the good and bad
Now I question all that has been said
Kicked around, I've been treated like a fool
Got to break out while the madness rules
Hey my friend now would you shake my hand
Tell me something I can undestand
And look me in the eye hones and true
I question your integrity,
You´ve been beaten all your life
and now it´s time to get away
leave behind the memories,
all you can do is pray
but your past is like a bad disease
it wont leave you alone
the hate inside is killing you
your heart has turned to stone
you don´t need advises or help from anyone
they´ll never really understand the pain
what is right or what is wrong
it means nothing to you
coz you´ve been treated bad
hates what you gain
What has become of you
is of nobodys interest
You´re all alone when you get up
and its the same when you get down to rest
a life of fortune with love and friends
is something you don´t know
now it´s time to leave it all behind
it´s time for you to go
The day that you´ve been buried
no single one did show up
no one even thought of you
as the rain fell on your coffin dropped
the vicar in his final words
said heaven was waiting for you
you already lived your life in hell
The world is familiar with fanatics and idealists too
In the past we have also seen them so in fact it ain't a new phenomenon
But I often question the integrity of the ones fighting for goals
Is it love for the things they fight for
or is it love for themselves being in control
Sometimes I get the feeling self-centred thoughts are just involved
I'm watching the charity poses, they want to be known noble and good
Integrity is turning away, the wrong are at the foreground
Now what do you represent, yourself or a dream of better days
Selfishness is often rejected, but we're all forced to act this way sometimes
Especially in danger own interests come first, it ain't a crime
This ain't concerning you because your position may not allow to act this way
These are no basic needs,
When I'm down and feeling low
And confusion has touched my soul
How I need some place where I can hide away
Let me fall within your arms
Melt away this cold I feel
All I need is to hold you tonight
Hold me close when I'm cold
Let me hear your beating heart
Close my eyes far away in a dream
In the morning I wake
And I'm blessed by God's grace
Just to open my eyes, see your face
Hold you tonight, sweet child
Never let me go
Tell me everything, oh, will be alright
In the morning I awake
And I'm blessed by God's grace
Just to open my eyes, see your face
Here's a little story `bout a very old muffin
She's a sugar when she's on her back
Tellin' old tales of how it used to be
And she said she's covered all the tracks
Laughin' all night
Drinkin' all night
Little Mary holds a naked heart
Showin' no cards
Hidin' no scars
Just you ask just what's inside of her
Such a sad, sad Mary
Sing a song for Mary
Love will find her way back home
Two o'clock dawns
When Mary starts out broke
She's a-rockin' right around the clock
From the New York apple
To the Hollywood city
Mary always finds a twisted plot
Laughin' all night
Drinkin' all night
She's a tattooed jungle star
Living her games
Bridges in flames
And she never thought she'd go too far
Such a sad, sad Mary
Sing a song for Mary
Love will find her way back home
(Solo)
Two o'clock dawns and Mary's gotta run
They say she's ridin' on a Heaven's train
All aboard
Mary, now they say she's blown the whistle
And she's never comin' back again
Laughin' all night
Drinkin' all night
She's a tattooed jungle star
Living her games
Bridges in flames
And she never thought she'd go too far
Just remember Mary
Sing a song for Mary
Love will find her way back home
Just remember Mary
Sing a song for Mary
Love will find her way back home
Sing a song for Mary
You come to me with made up stories
Nothing's ever true
Forced to say I do believe
One look in your eyes to see it through
It's so hard to believe
All those lies I get to hear
Living to deceive
Trying to get out of here right now
Without any shame
You're spreding nonsense to impress
A mental abnormality
Is dragging you right in this mess
We won't forget these empty promises you made
A second chance you had but now it is too late
Don't want any explanations, nothing is ever true
Ah, healin'
Tried to burn the fire inside
Now it's knockin' at your door
Say hello to karma
Yet through so many lies I wade
The truth in time will lay you down to rest
All that stands before me
Will turn dark and full of life
Yeah, yeah
You close your eyes
Your nightmare sweats
And life's a bitch
Say hello my friend
Steady life is on the end
Blood will spell your game
All that stands before me
Will turn dark and full of life
Yeah, yeah
Lord I'm healin', oh
All that stands before me
Will turn dark and full of life
Yeah, yeah
Lord I'm healin'
Yes, I'm healin'
Lord I'm healin'
Don't try to steal my soul
Lord I'm healin'
Everybody knows your name
Everybody knows your name
Yeah, karma, karma, karma, karma, karma
Fighting for my goals in every way
Things won't always go as planned, but I won't let it be
Although I face oppression every day
I'm marching on to win now on a road to victory
Destiny gave me a sign
A soul from long forgotten times
Leading me to freedom one fine day
On my own terms trying to succeed
In this game called life the stream of masses I refused
Accepting consequences for my deeds
At last I've got my dinity, which is something I won't lose
Time is now so I must follow my heart
Rather be dead than to work a lifetime for some leader's gain
Make your own mark,
so you'll be a part of independent spirit,
So woman, you give it all to me
Sweet child, more than I could bare
For the years gone by, traveled through the year
Sweet child, more than I could bare
We shared some hard times
Oh yes, we have
We've been through the sad times
But they're the best I ever had
Yes, it was
Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aahhh, the fire lasts forever
Let it be my baby girl
It's time to set me free
Travelin' on this road for much too long
Long line, long line, long line
Until the search that I fly
Long lines tellin' in these hands
Shared some hard times
Oh yes, we have
Been through sad times
But they're the best I ever had
Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aaahh, the fire lasts forever
Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aaahh, the fire lasts forever
Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Oh oh oh oh, oh
Just yesterday morning
They never know you were gone
Susan, the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning, and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
Well, I've seen fire, and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, yeah
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't look down upon me Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
I just can't make it through another day
My body's aching, and my time, my time is at end
I just can't make it any other way, yeah
Well, I've seen fire, and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend (yeah)
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Sweet momma you're gone
(Solo)
I'm openin' my mind to easier times
My back turned to the sun
Lord knows, when the cold winds blow
It'll turn your head around
But there's only time on the telephone lines
To talk about the good things to come
Sweet dreams and war machines in pieces on the ground, yeah
Well, I've seen fire, and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, yeah
But I always thought that I'd see you again
And your gone, gone, gone, my baby
Sweet times don't wait for me no more
Welfare, move instead
Tell'm that she can't go on
Sad time, won't leave
Feels that ya can't go on
You save your Johnny child
In this troubled world
Better hold on to love
Stealin' time don't look behind
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Before you drop now
Money man, said he's got the plan
Fat cat watches his stuff
Crawl the ladder, always gettin' fatter
Feel that ya can't go on
You save your Johnny child
From his troubled world
Better hold on to love
Stealin' time, tryin' to wait in line
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Hahahaha, ha
Get on out, boy before ya drop
Woo hoo
Yeah
Still alone, untimely
One time that you feared
Still wanting and tired of love
Feel that ya can't go on
You save your Johnny child
In this troubled world
Better hold on to love
Stealin' time
Still I wait in line
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Money bleeds
Crazy world
Yeah, yeah
Woo hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dogs are howlin' at my door
Wild old eagle's got me scrapin' the floor
Mercy, mercy, down on your knees
I know somethin' you can't live without
Take your time girl
I know somethin'
Telling lies yet
I don't say it's so
I know something
Some think's wrong now
Tell me like it is sweat little child
Lost in the midnight hour
Oh, oh,
I know something
You can't find out
Time will tell if you're a telling man
Lizard man in a lizard suit now
Just got killed
I'm across the road
Lost in the midnight hour
Oh, oh
Dogs are howlin' at my door
Dogs won't tell me when I take more
I know somthin'
You won't change
I don't love it
You said I'm all the same
Lost in the midnight hour
Lost
Lost in the midnight hour
I needed time to think things over
To heal my soul and ease the pain
And through a glass, a revelation
I could swear I heard the darkness call my name
Imagination's running for too long, oh yeah
The mind we lost can read the senses wrong
I need a shot of realization
I can't believe the things I've seen
`Cause down the bar sat the devil man
As he turned around and smiled and he said to me
He said, hey boy, I know what you're looking for
It feels so good to be so bad
Just take a chance, step through my open door
Lord
Now boy, I know you're oh so young
And the whole world shines in front of you
But I can give you anything you want
And I'll make it so easy for you
All I know is what my mama told me
All I know is what she said
When Beelzebub is sneakin' up on you
You best be dancin' on his head, yeah
Lord, do the devil's stomp
Oh, he made it sound so good
Stealin' my soul every way
The devil's price hangs on my soul
Throw a pocket full of gold his way
All I know is what my mama told me
All I know is what she said
When Beelzebub is sneakin' up on you
You best be dancin' on his head, yeah
Lord, do the devil's stomp
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
(Solo)
Oh, words that'll simmer
Like the moonlight house
Oh, feels so good, you know to be so bad
You know, been holding back, baby, for much too long
And I feel it creepin' right in my bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Lord
Lord, do the devil's stomp
Living on the moonshine
It's the season and I'm insane
Living on the moonshine's a crazy scene
Laughing through the morning sunshine
Rollin' in the rain is all I need, it's all I need
Ridin' on the wings of thunder
Blinded by a full moon's light
I'm runnin' like a river full of hunger
Oh, I'm dancin' on the edge tonight
Oh, mama says it's alright
But I'm leaving it all behind
If mama says it's all right, it's fine with me
Runnin' through a distant thunder
In a summer's rain is all I need, it's all I need
Ridin' on the wings of thunder
Blinded by a full moon's light
I'm runnin' like a river full of hunger
Oh, I'm dancin' on the edge tonight
(Solo)
Ooh, livin' on the moonshine
It's the season and I'm insane
Livin' on the moonshine's a crazy scene
I'm never, never, never looking back on my time
Gotta keep on movin'
Do you know what I mean
You know what I mean
Ridin' on the wings of thunder
Blinded by a full moon's light
I'm runnin' like a river full of hunger
Three day funk
Remember the times, sunshine in our eyes
We were caught up in the summer shade
Those were the days, like a gentle sleeping baby
We would watch the ocean wash the sun away
Livin' free was so easy, honey, honey
Those sunny days can never fade away
`Round and `round and `round time passes by so fast
Hey, hey, hey
The memory's all I know
And they're long gone for me
Her memory's holding on
But they're long gone for me
Sippin' my wine under the moonshine blanket
With my baby rollin' under the stars
Terrible lies we would tell one another, oh yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Livin' free was so easy, honey, honey
Those sunny days can never fade away
`Round and `round and `round time passes by so fast
Hey, hey, hey
The memory's all I know
And they're long gone for me
Her memory's holding on
And they're long gone for me, yeah
(Solo)
The memory's all I know
And they're long gone for me
Her memory's holding on
But they're long gone for me
The memory's all I know
And they're long gone for me
Her memory's holding on
But they're long gone for me
Yeah, yeah (all they're long gone)
Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo
Livin' free, livin' free, livin free my baby, now alright
I need a woman
Woman, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman
Standin' here, I got my eye on you
Your story bleeds, but there's no review
Honey drip and set my soul on fire
Stealin' hearts got me walkin' the wire
You're gonna lose control
All night long
When I find my love, love, love
High wire
Flash a smile, like a shiny blade
Everyone there thinks ya got it made
Sorry, child, can you take me higher
But you keep me hangin' on your lonely wire
You're gonna lose control
All night long
When I find my love, love, love
High wire
(Solo)
Oh, feels so good
You give me lovin' like no one could
You turn me child, inside out
Still you leave me drownin' in a sea of doubt
You're gonna lose control
All night long
You're gonna steal my soul, mama
You can't go wrong
When I find my love, love, love
High wire
Love, love, love
Oh, sweet child, I know where you come from now
High wire, baby
Tearing down the highway lines
It's a fever that I know
Tonight my burning bridges light the skies
The engine screams for murder
And tonight we're gonna bleed
Pushin' the limit through
On a red light rocket ride
The wheel's on fire, but it's alright, alright
They're gonna burn for me tonight
Hard driver, ridin' alone
`Cause there's no lookin' back
And you're never comin' home
Hard driver, you're on your own
Give it all, hard driver
Turn the ship into the wind
Let the engines roar
Curse the gods and let the metal cry
The eyes of total madness
Are the windows to the soul
You'd be a fool to stop on the edge of lost control
The wheel's on fire
But it's alright, alright
They're gonna burn for me tonight
Hard driver, ridin' alone
`Cause there's no lookin' back
And you're never comin' home
Hard driver, you're on your own
Give it all, hard driver
(Solo)
Hard driver, ridin' alone
`Cause there's no lookin' back
And you're never comin' home, yeah, yeah
Hard driver, you're on your own
Give it all hard driver
Give it all hard driver
And there's not looking back
I remember you baby
Like a sweet summer song
Said you'd love me forever
Nothing ever go wrong
Time's gone by
I'm just a memory scarred
I'm lost in a shadow
Don't know where you are
'Cause yesterday's gone
Dreams carry on
Will you return my way, oh
Sing me a sweet, sweet song
Turn out the lights and my love will burn on and on
Hold me until tomorrow
Dreams in the dark
Dreams in the dark
You pushed me, baby
A little too far
Turned your back on my lovin'
Lick my wounds in the bars
Story's been told
And a lesson is learned
I know where your love lies
And I know where you burn
'Cause yesterday's gone
Dreams carry on
Will you return my way, no
Sing me a sweet, sweet song
Turn out the lights and my love will burn on and on
Hold me until tomorrow
Dreams in the dark
Baby, I know that you're leavin'
It's over, it's over, I know
Now that my heart now is bleedin'
Don't know which way to turn, oh
(Solo)
Sing me a sweet, sweet song
Turn out the lights and my love will burn on and on
Hold me until tomorrow
Dreams in the dark
Sing me a sweet, sweet song
Turn out the lights and my love will burn on and on
Hold me until tomorrow
Dreams in the dark
Dreams in the dark
Dreams in the dark
Hear that crap on the radio, hear that shit on TV
Music for the mugs and wankers,
Not the people like you and me
We don't follow no trends or fashion
We don't follow none of their schemes
Skinhead Rock'n'Roll is our music
It carries our hopes, our thoughts and dreams
Chorus (2x):
Rock'n'Roll music for the elite
Feel the rage when we hit the street
Rock'n'Roll music for the elite - Skinheads! Skinheads!
We don't need support of the media
They're only out to make more profit
We'll carry on Oi! by ourselves
It's hated and that's why we love it
The scene is kicking and growing strong
We're the new breed of today
Some will stay true, some will survive
The weak they all just fade away
Chorus (2x)
If you take a notion, you'll be surprised with what
you'll see
A total dedication by the likes of you and me
Stick together, proud and true, cause that's the only
way
To separate ourselves from the youth of today
Chorus (2x)
Most days are passing by so quickly
They're featured by routine
There's no room for wild adventures perhaps only in dreams
But some days make it all worthwhile espaing from reality
Pride & passions in our hearts
These are good memories
I wish those nights would never end
You must have been there to know what it meant
The rock n' roll songs full of pride
They make sure the memories won't die
All together we sing along
The words of which our hearts belong
Hail Oi! music, the sound we praise
Looking back on wonderful days
Some believe in a great hereafter but nobody has got the proof
To my concern our time is now before you realise you've got to move
Spare time is rare so when I'm free I want to have a good time
Gonna see some bands tonight
For some you're never right, all you can do is wrong
Careful with what I say, to the oppressed I do belong
Judged by the paranoid, it's once again them spreading lies
They will condemn you too, we're innocents paying the price
Fight the prejudice causing contamination
Innocents getting the blame without having a say
Justice seemed to be abandoned in this nation
Got to face these biased ways
Fragments shown on TV with comments based on lies
I'm searching for the truth, it's like rolling a dice
It's often said they don't manipulate round here
When it comes down to a quarrel
You're too afraid to fight like a man
Because a real man fights with his two fists
Trying to survive the best that he can
You never have fought the hones way
Always taking to the trigger
Shooting around like a maniac
Death row is the place where you belong
Gunman you're a coward
Gunman you're a fool
Without a wapon you will never win
You're going to get your head kicked in
Walking around in the ghetto
Thinking you're tough because you own a gun
Shooting a thug a rival gang
This is my song, and you can't take it away from me
This is my song, about a life in misery
For me it's so hard to express the way I feel
I've got no one to turn to, the pain inside won't be revealed
Where does it lead to
Don't want to end up out in the cold
Fighting my way through
but it seems good luck I cannot hold
Tired of fighting
Another heartbreak I can't take no more
Misunderstood and broken
I keep my head down towards the floor
Closing my eyes, let me rest now to be free
Closing my eyes, to escape from reality
Suspicious I look at the world after these years
Are you ready people
To meet your time at the crossroad, yeah?
Healing time is heading my way now
No devil man is gonna cast vibration down on me
Hear me call your name
I got not time to look back at what I've said and done
Don't you know my baby, I was born on that rising sun
And all the love I gave you girl I said was real
Your backdoor lover's spinning like the wheel
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Dancin' with the wolves in the midnight holy hour baby
Troubled moon glows above my head now
No bloody story's gonna keep this poor boy on his knee
Gotta keep on rollin' straight ahead
I got not time to look back at what I've said and done
Don't you know my baby, I was born on that rising sun
And all the love I gave you girl I said was real
Your backdoor cyclone's spinning like the wheel
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Dig it!!
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
I hide
Lonely road is gonna take me down so easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Yeah, tribal moon
Glows above my head
It's early in the morning and the sun slowly appears
Inside a cell a man is waiting, nervous of fear
He knows he's gonna die soon, and no-one's gonna save his
soul
Lying on the floor while he waits for the hangman's call
Chorus (2x):
It's a nice day for a hanging - Justice will prevail
It's a nice day for a hanging - A new dawn we will hail
They open up the cell door and take him away
A rope is fetched real tight, so this will be his final
My friend, how does it feel to have a noose around your
neck
The end is near and sadly there ain't no turning back
Chorus (2x)
Chorus (2x)
It's early in the morning and the sun slowly appears
Inside a cell a man is waiting, nervous of fear
He knows he's gonna die soon, and no-one's gonna save his

Lying on the floor while he waits for the hangman's call
Chorus (2x)
Preaching love instead of hate, you reject to start a
Don't forget your holy crusades of violence when you
kick down each other's doors
You forced people to believe in a fantasy for your own
wealth and greed
Monk's fuckin' each other up the arse, while the
innocents had to bleed
Chorus (2x):
I don't want your sympathy
Don't wanna be a victim of your charity
You never did no good and you'll never will
Preaching love while you rob and kill
A member of your church is always on Sunday present at
the frontline
An outside appearance of a decent man, but he's the
offender of a serious crime
The church is a gathering of criminals, perverts and
child molesters
Using religion to cover up the truth - I won't believe
your false gestures
Chorus (2x)
Chorus (2x)
Preaching love instead of hate, you reject to start a
Don't forget your holy crusades of violence when you
kick down each other's doors
You forced people to believe in a fantasy for your own
wealth and greed
Monk's fuckin' each other up the arse, while the
innocents had to bleed
Chorus (2x)
Known as a feared man in this old town
Better not fuck with him cause he'll knock you down
Beating up innocents without regrets
Wonder what is going on in his tiny head
Chorus:
Then came the day when they had enough ... of Goliath's
evil ways
They fought together, proud and tough
Man, how he did regret that day
Tall walking through the pub with bloodshed eyes
Afraid they pass aside, the tension runs high
Stealing your beer away, pissing on your shoes
Against this evil villain less you can do
Chorus
At last he found himself in a wheelchair
Legs and arms paralysed, nobody cares
Plenty of time is left to think about the sins
Realise in the end the majority wins
Chorus
... That day
... That day
Get back home from your work, it was another heavy day
Your wife and kids are waiting for you, wonder what they
have to say
Sit back in your easy chair, your wife right by your side
There's no better place than home, it makes you feel
alright
Chorus:
You haven't been in many places all over the world
There's only once place you can be found
It's a place full of memories, of love but also fear
Still you feel at best in your hometown
Weekend's there, having two days off, enjoying them with
your family
Meeting comrades down the bar, it's all you ever need
This all happens in a city, the place where you grew up
Here you want to live and die, a love they cannot rob
away from you
Chorus
Get back home from your work, it was another heavy day
Your wife and kids are waiting for you, wonder what they
have to say
Sit back in your easy chair, your wife right by your side
There's no better place than home, it makes you feel
alright
The taste of salt water, old bread in your hand
Hardships you went through as you sailed to a far off
land
Living by the compass, the cold wind was your guide
That evening horizon, well, it was a precious sight
Chorus:
So you went for the diamond and its cristal shine
But never could you turn back the hands of time
... The hands of time
An old wooden legged pirate cheated on the game
Spoken words mean nothing, old villains don't know
shame
The beauty of a chorus didn't lead to sleep
A fat wallet might shrink but stories ain't that hard
to keep
Chorus
... The hands of time
Longing for the shore as you drift away
Getting hit by a storm as the sky turns grey
An opponent lies beaten, blood on the wooden deck
Tanking up on whiskey, breathing smoke of cigarettes
The taste of salt water, old bread in your hand
Hardships you went through as you sailed to a far off
land
Living by the compass, the cold wind was your guide
That evening horizon, well, it was a precious sight
Chorus
We are not children any more
The fists you made they are come bashing at your door
Your legacy is waiting in the wings and there's something
So familiar in the hunger that we bring
We don't want to be like you
Don't want to live like you
Learn by our own mistakes, thank you
Forcing time and pushing through
You are not our heroes anymore
Dim the lights the time is come
Into the ring the father and the son
Sown in sweat and passion long ago
And now the blood on our hands is the same as our own
And the man has the skill and the man has the power
But the boy has the will to win and so much time
You are not our heroes anymore
If you knew then what you know now to be true
You never would have started
This whole chain we're going through
And you love us now but you hate us still
And we hate you now but we love you still
You are not our heroes anymore
You are not my mother, you are not my father
Many times they've said to me I'm wrong, but their
reasons failed
Always told myself 'got to be strong' but reason failed
I was always out to take revenge, someway, somehow
But who was there to blame, well, I don't care, I decided
now to ...
Chorus:
Fight, fight until I die
Oh, I'll fight, I shall give it one more try
I will fight, fight until I die
Oh, I'll fight, I shall fight until I die
I've been betrayed, I've been kept for some mean fool,
but they never broke me
Followed my own path, won't be no tool, never was too
blind to see
Many vultures on the loose, so paranoid
Now what direction shall I choose, lost in a void
Chorus
When it comes down to a quarrel
You're too afraid to fight like a man
Because a real man fights with his two fists
Trying to survive the best that he can
You never have fought the hones way
Always taking to the trigger
Shooting around like a maniac
Death row is the place where you belong
Gunman you're a coward
Gunman you're a fool
Without a wapon you will never win
You're going to get your head kicked in
Walking around in the ghetto
Thinking you're tough because you own a gun
Shooting a thug a rival gang
After the deed you'll be on the run
Are you ready people
To meet your time at the crossroad, yeah?
Healing time is heading my way now
No devil man is gonna cast vibration down on me
Hear me call your name
I got not time to look back at what I've said and done
Don't you know my baby, I was born on that rising sun
And all the love I gave you girl I said was real
Your backdoor lover's spinning like the wheel
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Dancin' with the wolves in the midnight holy hour baby
Troubled moon glows above my head now
No bloody story's gonna keep this poor boy on his knee
Gotta keep on rollin' straight ahead
I got not time to look back at what I've said and done
Don't you know my baby, I was born on that rising sun
And all the love I gave you girl I said was real
Your backdoor cyclone's spinning like the wheel
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Dig it!!
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
I hide
Lonely road is gonna take me down so easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Yeah, tribal moon
Glows above my head
Is gonna take me down so easy
Fall leaves have changed their color
Winter's on its way
I'm lookin' for the sunny part of town
And leaving on, I hear the wicked cold winds call me
They say, don't fly away
Ooh, oh, oh, ah-ha, ha
Drink the warm wines
Feel the heat from a fire's blaze
You take a long walk in those lonely winter days
You hear her cry out in the cold baby hold me, hold me
Don't fly away
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Winter's cold winds call me
Gonna leave it all behind
Summer breezes fill my mind, fill my mind
Oh, yes they do now
Winter's cold winds call me
Gonna leave it all behind
Summer breezes fill my mind, fill my mind
All your love is what I need from you
All your love is gonna keep me warm through the winter's storm
I give it to you baby
Give it to me now mama
Winter's cold winds call me
Gonna leave it all behind
Summer breezes fill my mind, they fill my mind
All your love is what I need from you
All your love is gonna keep me warm through the winter's storm
I give it to you baby
I give it to you now mama
Give it to you baby
All you love, oh, stick it
(Solo)
All your love is what I need from you
All your love is gonna keep me warm, so warm
All your love is what I need from you
All your love is gonna keep me warm through the winter's storm
I give it to you, baby
Give it to me now, mama
I give to you, baby
Give it to me now, baby, oh ah
All your love, all your love, all your love, all your love
I need it from you baby (all your love)
Give it to me now mama (all your love)
All your love, all your love
Give it to me now, baby
Give it to you now, mama
All your love, all your love
All your love, all your love
Love, oh
Give it to me, one time
It's been a long time since I seen you girl
Takin' time on me
All the boys `round town
They tell me you just got back in the scene
I'm fightin' it hard for you, baby
Still lovin' you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're turnin' me on
I'm soakin' my head in this rusty old bar
Hearin' a jukebox playin' old guitar
Your love is whiskey
Whiskey through my bones
Your love is whiskey dust
Burnin' through my bones
Seen you walking down
The other hot night, sweet child
Memory lane has burned a shotgun hole in my soul
I'm fightin' hard for you baby
Still lovin' you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're turnin' me on
I'm soakin' my head in this rusty old bar
Hearin' a jukebox playin' old guitar
Your love is whiskey
Whiskey through my bones
Your love is whiskey dust
Burnin' through my bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Solo)
Since I've been away
The boys they tell me you're a dancin' girl
Swingin' your hips
Winkin' your eyes
You're a circus on the town
I'm fightin' it hard for you baby
Still lovin' you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're turnin' me on, and on, and on, on, on, on
I'm soakin' my head in this rusty old bar
Hearin' a jukebox playin' old guitar
Your love is whiskey (whiskey)
Whiskey through my bones, yeah
Whiskey dust burnin' through my bones
Whiskey woman burnin' through my soul, soul, soul
Stone cold hot
Never saw the light of day
Said I'm dreaming night and day on the way
Tell me to lie and turn my way
Feels I can't go on
I know you know my name now
Remember babe my face now
Remember time shows no fear
Walking Attitude
Sticks and stones will break my bones
So many names that I've heard
My old lady stands out of turn
Well I know you know my name now
Remember babe this face now
Remember time shows no fear
In love say no
In love say no
Stand alone
Take a chance, you know her
Stand alone
Had alive, chances
Stand alone
Stay alive, chances
Yeah
Ha ha ha ha
Oh, it wasn't that bad was it
Y'all goin' to his show
Yeah
I'm a searching soul, um hmm
I'm a lonely man
Walkin' down
To the crossroads
Wake up on a Sunday mornin'
Heard a voice in my head
He's tellin' me lies
Tryin' to take me by surprise
Tryin' to take me down before I'm dead
Oh, down that Voodoo Highway
Oh, down that wicked road
Oh, down that Voodoo Highway
Poor old son, gonna find out the hard way
Oh, yes he is now
Mojo man ring my doorbell
Tell me somethin' what you need
I ain't gonna sign on no dotted line, no sir
Might as well make me bleed
Ah, I'll take my chance on Voodoo Highway
Oh, goin' down, down, down
Oh listen, I never joke a fool
Don't you know, I was born to fly down Voodoo Highway
Ah, don't you mess with me boy
I was born to fly
Down on Voodoo Highway, highway, highway
Fight fire with fire, that's how the old saying goes
We must play it hard in order to defeat our foes
They're numerous, unlike us united
We cannot change it if we stand divided
They're forming gangs, terrorising every town
They're spreading hate, a constant fear is all around
A country downfall we desperately see
If you resist you get killed by the enemy
Violence against violence - the only solution
Violence against violence - to fight the pollution
Violence against violence - until the job is done
Violence against violence - watching em' run
Roaming the streets, searching for casualties
In groups they operate, now deaht's someone's destiny
Fighting like cowards, carrying guns and knives
With no remorse they might take away your life
We've had enough of their useless violence
Our battle cry willend this painful silence
The lack of justice we'll surely compensate
In the coldness of the city
Where the neon sleeps
The streets show the pity
And the nights run deep
And every shadow seems to hold a hidden story
And every heart, oh, is a refugee
And the old ones hope
And the lost ones scream
The hustlers float
And the young ones dream
In the city
Livin' in the soul of the city
And the streets cry freedom
Do you stand or retreat
As you stare by the neon gods above
While you bask in the heat
And the streets cry freedom
As the blood runs cold
As you stare into the eyes of the walking ghosts
Who've lost their souls
In the summer's heat I'm weary
In the soul of the city
Potential's burning bright
In the Harlem halls
Have you ever lived looking down a shotgun barrel
When they said hey boy, this ain't your home
There ain't no cure for the bleeding heart
`Cause when you fall
There's no second start in the city
There'll always be the soul of the city
And the streets cry freedom
As it burns in the heat
As you stare by the neon gods above
While you bask in the heat
And the streets cry freedom
As the blood runs cold
You stare into the eyes of the walking ghosts
Who've lost their souls
(Solo)
There is no reason
For livin' in sin
I don't believe when they say hey boy, you better give in
You know I'll fight for what I know
Till the day that I die
`Cause I'm better off dead
Then buried along with my pride
And the streets cry freedom
Till the day that I die, yeah
Till the day that I die
And the streets cry freedom
Till the day that I die, yeah
Till the day that I die, yeah
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die, die, die, die, die, oh
Streets cry freedom
Potential's burning bright
Ohhh, oh
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die
Till the day that I die
If you want my love
Just name a time and any place
If you want my love
Just name a time and any place, yeah, yeah
You need a backdoor, said I'd never leave
Oh, without a trace
If you want my heart
You can steal it if you want to
Yes, you can
If you want my heart
You can steal it if you want to, yeah, yeah
`Cause in your lovin' arms, sweet baby
Where you set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Solo)
Take a chance on your love, sweet Jesus
Even though you're gonna break my heart with your evil ways
`Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you
Any time and any place now, baby
You ain't nothin' but a soul stealer
Think I'll take my chances
`Cause in your lovin' arms. sweet baby
Where you set me free-yeah
Any time, any place now baby
Oh, it's gonna make you blind
Alright
Running on like the rising sun
Like a wild horse thundering on
Fly, fly, fly through the wind and storm
Now I'm running free
Heart and soul
That's my old bag
I leave behind a trial of sorrow and pain
Cry, cry, Lord, he calls my name
Not even you could take the blame
Ride on, silver horses
Drive, drive past the wind
A candle burns for my tortured soul
In a chapel where she whispers my name
Pray, pray, pray just to pay my toll
For sins of yesterday
Ride on silver horses
Drive, drive past the wind
Ride on silver horses
Drive on past my sins
(Solo)
Ride on silver horses
Drive, drive past the wind
Ride on silver horses
So many times, I walked away from your love
So little time to show you the way I feel
All I know
Is that I need to hold on to your love
Lead me to your heart, oh
Show me the way now, baby
Show me the way now, darlin'
Open up your lovin' heart
Show me the way now baby
I need to feel you in my arms
Show me the way into your heart
Just remember me baby, when I've gone away
Every time I feel the wind blow, I'll remember your way, yeah
So many times you held me close in times of need
And baby, it's time you bring me closer to your lovin' arms now, yeah
Show me the way now, baby
I need to feel you in my arms
Show me the way into your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Show me the way now, baby
Open up your lovin' arms
Show me the way into your heart
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Solo)
Show me the way now, baby
Show me the way now, darlin'
Open up your lovin' heart, lovin' heart
Show me the way now, baby
I need to feel you in my arms now
Show me the way into your heart
Lead me, baby, to your lovin arms
I'll keep you dry in the pourin' rain, now, baby
And I'm lonely, baby
Every little day I'm closer to your lovin' arms, yeah, yeah
Show me the way, show me the way to your heart now, baby
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, alright
Born by a river
If you look into my eyes the river's end
People sometimes think I'm crazy
But I know this world's gone mad
Tell me why
I can't explain
Way down inside I'm filled with pain
Shine on
Only you can set me free
Shine on
Close my eyes you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Won't you turn your light on me
Oh my Lord, I've been a sinner
In my time I've seen my ways
And if I beg down on my knees
Would you hear these words I say
`Cause in the dark I need your vision
Don't let this poor soul fade away
(Shine on)
Only you can set me free
(Shine on)
Close my eyes you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Won't you turn your light on me, yeah
(Solo)
Foolish anger is the flame
That burns inside, it calls your name
`Cause by a river, my soul is bleeding
Hold me now
Shine on
Only you can set me free
Shine on
Close my eyes you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Only you
Shine on
Only you can set me free
Shine on
I close my eyes you're all I see
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find
Should've known better
I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
Alright
Hey now won't ya listen
About a tale of a heartbreak queen
The kind of girl that makes Bogie fall
On a late night movie screen
She wraps a look around ya
Turns a wise man to the fool
Lord, save my soul
`Cause I feel like I'm fallin' through
I said yeah, alright
Gimme that ball and chain now
I hear the sound of sweet and rumble
Every time that she walks on by
Your song keeps burnin' in my ears
Makes me wanna crawl deep inside
Sweet jesus, it gives me trouble
Something I don't understand
The girl has got a chain around my heart
Help me, Jesus, to the promise land
Alright, alright
Gimme that ball and chain now
Oh, oh, shine
Oh, oh, oh, fall Angelica, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Before too long I know
You'll be back in my arms before too long
Lord, save me now
(Solo)
Sweet sound of mercy
Such a hard woman to know
Her freedom flies like a golden bird
It's makin' me lose control
All I know is that I love her
Sweet jesus, hear my plea
All I know is that the heartbreak queen
Is taking a piece of me, of me, of me
Alright, alright
Gimme that ball and chain now
Gimme that ball and chain now
Alright
Well, gimme that ball and chain, yeah
Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting
(Chorus)
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workin' `neath the wheel
till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
(Chorus)
mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm
For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
Well I sat down by this old man who told me heroic stories of mermaids and old pirates
tales of failure, faith and glory
once rumours were spread across the land of bravery
So protected, far away, like a treasure in the sea
Tales full of glory told by scarred countrymen
They grew up in this old town where it all began
Shake their hands and just listen carefully
Forget time and go back in history
Sunday afternoon the bar is filled with local heroes ,
Smoke is drifting through the place,
In the dim lights there are shadows
Well outside a storm is raging and the rain is falling down,
And a stranger’s in for shelter,
Friendly people all around
While other places bow cod profit and modernisation
They hold to old traditions against all contamination
It’s a place of miracles, their way of life is not for sale
Seeing people all around me with their high class careers
Does it make em' feel happy, won't it cause any tears
Want to sit here in my room and do nothing at all
No I don't want to answer to society's call
I want to be a kid forever, no responsibilities
I want to be a kid forever, aged 10 when I freeze
Seeing couples on the streets walking kindly hang in hand
Happily married, this I can't understand
Rather be all alone on an island far away
Never think about tomorrow, I'm just gonna seize the day
Don't wanna undestand the world, there's way too much hate
Don't wanna go to school to learn, they'll decide your fate
Don't wanna change the earth,
just le me be I wanna be a kid forever, honest and free
I don't wanna grow up, adults are so complicated
In this hectic society I'm not sure, I'm gonna make it
Will I stay isolated until the end of times
I want to go to town and drink a beer
Forget my problems and get out of here
Beer can ease the pain but it cannot solve
If there is trouble, I will get involved
I am tired and I want to go to sleep
Lying on my bed, my back is killing me
Next day is the same, I will be out for booze
There ain't that many for me to lose
Chorus:
Hey, my friend, let's go in here
Let's talk and have a beer
Speak out some words when there's nothing to say
When reasoning fails, a bar brawl is there
Taking some blows, well, tonight I don't care
I want to go to town and drink a beer
Forget my problems and get out of here
Beer can ease the pain but it cannot solve
If there is trouble, I will get involved
I am tired and I want to go to sleep
Lying on my bed, my back is killing me
Next day is the same, I will be out for booze
There ain't that many for me to lose
Chorus
Chorus
The voice of the religious never interested me
It was a case of saving common souls for their fee
Pictures of the devil and the angels made them kneel
Facts withhold so many times and the truth's never
revealed
Chorus (2x):
Hell, there ain't no Judgement Day ... (3x)
Hurt and maim, you'll get away
In the past a simple man was not allowed to speak
Propaganda was widely spread by a bunch of violent creeps
Life and death are mysteries, what happens when we die?
At least we won't take anymore of their old vicious lies
Chorus (2x)
The monks and priests always knew better, so they often
sinned
They took money from the poor, so they could live like
kings
What would God above think of these vile criminal ways?
They knew well enough, my friend, there ain't no
Judgement Day
Now and then, there's a reunion of old men who fought in
They march by in wheelchairs and with sticks in their
hands
You might laugh about them because they look silly and
But keep in mind they did the job in war
Chorus (2x):
See the old veterans marching by
With a Dutch flag raised high in the sky
We won't forget what they did during the war
A generation starving out, so pay attention and show some
respect
Listen to their tales, you might learn something useful
This might be the last time that we can see our heroes
alive
These are the men to which I pay respect
Chorus (2x)
We salute our heroes of the past
See our flag waving in the sky
May this moment last forever
Hail the veterans ... (3x)
... Their spirit never dies
Take a look at the government, what's going on today
The truth is always covered up, it's a dirty game they
play
Voting just seems useless because they all screw us
around
Pay resistance, in return they'll make sure you're
prison bound
Chorus:
Take a listen government, I can see through you
Well, I've got the right to judge you because of the
things you do
Declare war to the media, we have to make it through
Now try to crucify me and cover up all that is true
What's wrong with the media, what happened to free
speech
They won't fool me with stupid lies, out of ignorance
they preach
Labelled intellectual, looking down on the common man
The ones who nail me to the cross are the ones that I
condemn
Chorus
Take a look at the government, what's going on today
The truth is always covered up, it's a dirty game they
play
Voting just seems useless because they all screw us
around
Pay resistance, in return they'll make sure you're
prison bound
Hear that crap on the radio, hear that shit on TV
Music for the mugs and wankers,
Not the people like you and me
We don't follow no trends or fashion
We don't follow none of their schemes
Skinhead Rock'n'Roll is our music
It carries our hopes, our thoughts and dreams
Chorus (2x):
Rock'n'Roll music for the elite
Feel the rage when we hit the street
Rock'n'Roll music for the elite - Skinheads! Skinheads!
We don't need support of the media
They're only out to make more profit
We'll carry on Oi! by ourselves
It's hated and that's why we love it
The scene is kicking and growing strong
We're the new breed of today
Some will stay true, some will survive
The weak they all just fade away
Chorus (2x)
If you take a notion, you'll be surprised with what
you'll see
A total dedication by the likes of you and me
Stick together, proud and true, cause that's the only
To separate ourselves from the youth of today
Weekend has arrived, all we need is booze
Going to the pub, we've got nothing to lose
Pocket full of money when the night begins
When it's closing time, there is nothing left in
Chorus:
Weekend - All we need is beer
Weekend - Now all the boys are here
Weekend - Really getting pissed
Singing all our favourite songs with a pint and a raised
fist
Sometimes things get out of hand
But we laugh about it in the end
Sick of drinking too much alcohol,
Drinking myself out of control
Every week we do it over again
Rock'n'Roll is our masterplan
A ritual which never ends,
Drinking beer with all our friends
Chorus
Well, I keep on searching for better days, while I
think of those who paved the way
Long ago out in the past, now these men lay to rest
They stood for pride and dignity in a more decent
society
Tell me why these times are gone - Suddenly it all went
wrong
Chorus:
Whatever happened with the pride of our land
Now I see crime rates are rising, tell me where it's
gonna end
Hidden in their golden castles far away from the
streets
Where your life is a gamble when the gangs of violence
meet
... The violence meet
In the past when life was hard, they stood together
from the start
They respected the shades of green, fought the enemy so
mean
What's a life worth nowadays? - So damn easily it's
taken away
Now it seems the devil reigns, in a country full of
shame
Chorus
... The violence meet (2x)
Chorus
Do you ever find yourself living in the past
The life that you lived it was not meant to last
Playing cut throat with an ace up your sleeve
The walls are closing in and you can't leave
Badlands you're living badlands
An empty bottle or maybe it is much more
Your day began by getting up off the floor
You said that you would change but that was yesterday
Feeling so damn weak your mind just goes astray
Badlands you're living badlands
The chances that you're taking are ore than what's given
You've got no excuses for the way that you've been living
Just what exactly my friend have you become
I want some answers not your excuses only you have none
Badlands you're living badlands
I was drivin
Through the badlands
A woman screaming
Cause she stuck in the radio
(my heart will go on)
He was a biker
That's what he told me
"where's your bike then?"
"well, I burried the pieces
Oily steel and bone"
I aint hip on ditchin
A stranger stranded at the lip of alone
Liquid night
There's a moon in my soup
Liquid night
They hang you up against the sky
You are a feather
I made a wish once
You are a bluebird
I am blue
I just wanna get next to you
Liquid night
There's a moon in my soup
Liquid night
They hang you up against the sky
Liquid night
I'm afraid of what I read
Liquid night
And everyone's afraid of me
Thirsty gazer
Fraidy stare
Father empty
Are you there?
Now you see me
Now you shout
The de the de the de the de the de
The devil let me out
Liquid night
There's a moon in my soup
Liquid night
They hang you up against the sky
Liquid night
I'm afraid of what I read
Liquid night
And everyone's afraid of me
(to the microtonal weeping of a violin,
She goes loping, lonely, into the dark,
Bemoaning hercursed wretched state)
It aint a houseguest
More like hotel
And I have lived there
And I have lived well
The wind gets high and the fog gets low
There are days when the dogs know
Liquid night
There's a moon in my soup
Liquid night
They hang you up against the sky
Liquid night
I'm afraid of what I read
Liquid night
I'm talking about the badlands
Ain't nothing but a sadland
I don't blame it on the city
But the badlands put its mark on you
I see Johnny at the corner
As the Popsicleman
All of a sudden he's got a gun in his hand
Now Johnny's in a wheelchair
'Cause of the Popsicleman
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Now he understands
I need to find some peace of mind
I need a rest, I need to unwind
This hangin' and bangin' goin' on
This ain't no hell, this is my home
Talking about the badlands
Ain't nothing but a sadland
I don't blame it on the city
But the badlands put its mark on you
Bad Land!
You gotta know the streets muthaf-a
It can't be no one
time beef muthaf-a
Can you feel me really
I hope you rocking mic's
than you ain't slinging dope
Check the masses who major in the
gunblast on yah filthy rich ass
cause you ain't never cut class
But they did
now they're f-n' underrated
Y'all showed no love
so now their hearts are full with hatred
And ain't trying to throw no joints, or no bullsh...
Just drink liquor, smoke hydro and just pull sh...
Stay jigg without the man, stack the grand
cause the plan done work
Now we're duckin' from Uncle Sam
Blam! Take that on yah way out
Stay out. Yah days out - lights out!
Back to my hideout
You inside out makes the inside edition
A scar is my tradition
Doin' you in intermission
The neon streets are empty
And moon's my only light
Running in from the shadows
But there's no running from the fight
We'll find no pity for you city fools
Where the shotgun makes the rules
In the Badlands
There's a bad moon shining down
Badlands [(Badlands)]
Honey, we don't fool around
Well, your mama can't protect you
And you're the apple of her eye
When the strange, hanging blues come to ya
It's time to do or die
It doesn't matter which is quicker
Cyanide or sweet, sweet liquor
In the Badlands
There's a bad moon shining down
Badlands [(Badlands)]
Ooh, honey, we don't fool around
I'm in the Badlands [(Badlands)]
I don't know who I am
Badlands [(Badlands)]
You're really finding all you can
It doesn't matter which is quicker
Cyanide or sweet, sweet liquor
In the Badlands
In the Badlands [(Badlands)]
Dead moon from the south
Badlands [(Badlands)]
Ooh, honey, we don't fuck around
I'm in the Badlands [(Badlands)]
Badlands [(Badlands)]
B-b-b-b-b-badlands [(Badlands)]
Badlands, ooh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(k. green)
Tears ripping through the badlands
Tearing a hole in my heart
I want to wrap myself in your shadow
But I trip and fall on my head
Now I'm standing upside down
Now I'm staring at the sky
Safe and sound in your embrace
Your day old shoulder suffocates me
With that familiar sweet smell of your body
Possesses me like a ghost
Now I'm standing upside down
Now I'm staring at the sky
Life makes you tumble and frown
God made the feeling; so down
Life makes you tumble and cry wondering why
Now I'm standing on my head
Now I wish I could forget you
Life makes you tumble and frown
God made the feeling; so down
Life makes you tumble and cry wondering why
Tumble and frown
Tumble and frown
Tumble and...
Like a ghost with tears ripping through the badlands
Billy lincoln - guitars, drum programming, trumpet
Kat green - vocals, acoustic guitar
lighting struck, Your presence woke us up,
You said, "follow into the night"
rain quit, moon lit vast plains ahead
and in this vision we know ourselves small
sun rose on the stones, many shades of light,
the wind was now our guide it led us to the height
at the edge of the cliff all idle chatter quit,
now with our lives at risk we finally exist
You gave freely, met our needs, cut our hands from
things and from our veins flowed life giving streams
onward along the ridge together, breaking bread and glad
with all we saw, we were in awe
ghost town sheriff put us behind the wall, he don't like
the look of folks in awe
phantom preacher said, "you outlaws confess",
and we said "yes, we are in awe!"
said they'd feed us to the birds, we heard the crows caw
but you can't capture wind and you can't control awe
We were in awe
(Glad with all we saw, we were in awe)
Angel made a jail break said go
and walk this land & be in awe.
You must obey God
rather than man if you're in awe.
Angel made a jail break said go & walk this land & be in
awe.
Tears ripping through the badlands
Tearing a hole in my heart
I want to wrap myself in your shadow
But I trip and fall on my head
Now I'm standing upside down
Now I'm staring at the sky
Safe and sound in your embrace
Your day old shoulder suffocates me
With that familiar sweet smell of your body
Possesses me like a ghost
Now I'm standing upside down
Now I'm staring at the sky
Life makes you tumble and frown
God made the feeling; so down
Life makes you tumble and cry wondering why
Now I'm standing on my head
Now I wish I could forget you
Life makes you tumble and frown
God made the feeling; so down
Life makes you tumble and cry wondering why
Tumble and frown
Tumble and frown
Tumble and...
Like a ghost with tears ripping through the badlands
Billy lincoln - guitars, drum programming, trumpet

as tears fell down onto avenue C
i was tucked up neat
in my satin sheets
dreaming a dream of the floweriest place
remembering faces
forgetting your name
i was happier then (sinning in secret)
happier then (sinning in secret)
but i'm colder now
a little older now
come watch me now
as i smoulder now
in badlands where living is lying
in badlands where laughing is crying
in badlands nobody hears when
tears fall down
it's a painful high
the space between brown and blue
there's a burning bush
forever burning for you
let's climb to the top of the stairs
in a room hung with flowers
walking on fire (laughing in secret)
higher and higher (laughing in secret)
come and take it now
don't fake it now
we can make it now
let's wake up now
in badlands where living is lying
in badlands where laughing is crying
in badlands nobody hears when
tears fall down
and when the lovely chant is forgotten
i'm miles away from you
i fell from the top to the bottom
and landed in the blue
without you (there are no secrets)
without you (there are no secrets)
oh i'm waiting now
and it's raining now
all i'm saying now
is i'm staying now
in badlands where living is lying
in badlands where laughing is crying
in badlands nobody hears when
tears fall down
Like an nunce in an opium den.
Like the fire of A dozen man.
Like smoke that clouds my brain.
I can taste the rage pumping in my veins.
Like two asian beauties on my left.
Like A snake I can taste their sweat.
Like the blade of A dear old friend.
Her tongue in my mouth reaching for the end.
Like A beast I can smell her breath.
Like the sweet bitter kiss of death.
Like A rattlesnake ready to kill.
I'm twirling around as the time stands still.
Like the sun burning up my skin.
Like my tears wash away my sins.
Like her body for my soul to rub.
I'm drinking lust from A golden cup.
I feel all I am is A lie, will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the bad, badlands.
Like sand up the hourglass.
Like A flame I can feel the wrath.
Like A coin falling through my hand.
Try to catch but I know I can't.
Like A roach crawling in my skin.
Like A saint I can feel my sin.
Like A roach running down my spine.
Oh, Lord can't you see that the nite is mine?
I feel all I am is A lie, will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the bad, badlands.
I feel all I am is A lie, will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the bad, badlands.
(Like an nunce in an opium den.
Like the fire of A dozen man.
Like smoke that clouds my brain.
I can taste the rage pumping in my veins.)
I feel all I am is A lie, will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the bad, badlands.
(Like an nunce in an opium den.
Like the fire of A dozen man.
Like an nunce in an opium den.
Like the fire of A dozen man.
Like smoke that clouds my brain.
I can taste the rage pumping in my veins.)
I feel all I am is A lie, will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
